    Have you ever seen one that did? And to think PATTS wants them to mandate something for the side of trailers too and they want to upgrade current standards for DOT bumpers. Good joke it still ain't going to stop the stupid 4 wheeler that's not paying attention from slamming into a trailer at 80 and going under it.

    you'd think the time, effort and money would be better spent figuring out why people run into stationary objects , and go from there.

    Im not sure you can upgrade a DOT bumper. Maybe put long spikes on them, facing backward, so they can retrieve bodies easier?
